Prof. Luigi RAFFO is full professor of Electronics at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering – University of Cagliari (ITALY). He received the “laurea degree” in Electronic Engineering at University of Genoa (ITALY) in 1989, the PhD degree in Electronics and Computer Science at the same university in 1994. In 1994 he joined the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering of University of Cagliari (ITALY) as assistant professor, in 1998 as associate professor and from 2006 as full professor of electronics. He teaches courses on system/digital and analog electronic design and processor architectures for the Courses of studies in Electronic and Biomedical Engineering. From 2006 to 2012 he was President of the Course of Studies in Biomedical Engineering. From 2012 he is the Delegate for European Projects of University of Cagliari
He is coordinator of the project EU IST-248424 MADNESS – Methods for predictAble Design of heterogeNeous Embedded System with adaptivity andreliability Support. He is unit coordinator of the project ARTEMIS-ASAM. He was coordinator of the project EU IST-FET – IST-2001-39266 – BEST and  unit coordinator of the project EU-IST-FET – SHAPES – Scalable Software Hardware Architecture Platform for Embedded Systems.He has been local coordinator of industrial projects in the field (among others: ST-Microelectronics –- Extension of ST200 architecture for ARM binary compatibility, ST-Microelectronics –- Network on chip). He has been responsible for cooperation programs in the field of embedded systems with several other European Universities.

His research focus is on the design of electronic devices and system for application both in the biomedical field and in several fields where high performances and low power dissipation are required. In such a field he is author of about 200 international publications and three international patents.

He was local general coordinator of the following international projects:

FP7-AAL-2012-5-064-HEREiAM:An interoperable platform for self care, social networking and managing of daily activities at home

FP7-ICT-248424 – MADNESS: Methods for predictAble Design of heterogeNeous Embedded System with adaptivity and reliability Support

FP5-IST-39266 – BEST:Biomolecular recognition by integrated smart-sensor technology

 He has been local coordinator of the following international projects:

H2020-ICT-01-2016 – Cross-layer modEl-based fRamework for multi-oBjective dEsign of Reconfigurable systems in unceRtain hybRid envirOnments

FP7-ICT-611687 NEBIAS:NEurocontrolled BIdirectional Artificial upper limb and hand prosthesiS

FP7-ARTEMIS-ASAM – Automatic Architecture Synthesis and Application Mapping

FP6-FET-026825 SHAPES Scalable software Hardware Architecture Platform for Embedded Systems

For UniCA he has coordinated several national projects (PRIN), regional (LR7), industrial (among others: ST-Microelectronics –- Extension of ST200 architecture for ARM binary compatibility, ST-Microelectronics –- Network on chip). He has been coordinator of the project INSIEME: INtelligent Systems for Integrated hEalth ManagEment” – Asse I, Azione 1.1.3 PON Imprese e competitività 2014 – 2020.
